NJ's suggestion does not appear to work in my case. I cannot get the Nvidia Control Panel to retain that Prefer Maximum Performance setting.
I viewed the Nvidia configuration file... I do not even see a setting calling out that value of the control panel. It keeps reverting to Adaptive.... which I think means "Only chose Nvidia to process the graphics if you really must." Nonsense, I selected the GeForce GT 1030 board and plug my display into it as I mean for the system to actually use the GeForce GT 1030! Output of my configuration file is as follows: # # Configuration file for nvidia-settings - the NVIDIA Settings utility # Generated on Mon Jan 26 08:33:30 2026 # # ConfigProperties: RcFileLocale = C DisplayStatusBar = Yes SliderTextEntries = Yes IncludeDisplayNameInConfigFile = No ShowQuitDialog = Yes UpdateRulesOnProfileNameChange = Yes Timer = PowerMizer_Monitor_(GPU_0),Yes,1000 Timer = Thermal_Monitor_(GPU_0),Yes,1000 Timer = Memory_Used_(GPU_0),Yes,3000 # Attributes: 0/SyncToVBlank=1 0/LogAniso=0 0/FSAA=0 0/TextureClamping=1 0/FXAA=0 0/AllowFlipping=1 0/FSAAAppControlled=1 0/LogAnisoAppControlled=1 0/OpenGLImageSettings=1 0/FSAAAppEnhanced=0 0/ShowGraphicsVisualIndicator=0 [DPY:DVI-D-0]/Dithering=0 [DPY:DVI-D-0]/DitheringMode=0 [DPY:DVI-D-0]/DitheringDepth=0 [DPY:DVI-D-0]/ColorSpace=0 [DPY:DVI-D-0]/ColorRange=0 [DPY:DVI-D-0]/SynchronousPaletteUpdates=0 [DPY:HDMI-0]/RedBrightness=0.000000 [DPY:HDMI-0]/GreenBrightness=0.000000 [DPY:HDMI-0]/BlueBrightness=0.000000 [DPY:HDMI-0]/RedContrast=0.000000 [DPY:HDMI-0]/GreenContrast=0.000000 [DPY:HDMI-0]/BlueContrast=0.000000 [DPY:HDMI-0]/RedGamma=1.000000 [DPY:HDMI-0]/GreenGamma=1.000000 [DPY:HDMI-0]/BlueGamma=1.000000 [DPY:HDMI-0]/Dithering=0 [DPY:HDMI-0]/DitheringMode=0 [DPY:HDMI-0]/DitheringDepth=0 [DPY:HDMI-0]/DigitalVibrance=0 [DPY:HDMI-0]/ColorSpace=0 [DPY:HDMI-0]/ColorRange=0 [DPY:HDMI-0]/SynchronousPaletteUpdates=0 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2138998 Title: Nvidia drivers updated this week 20260124 cause annoying flashing of screen when used with Compositor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-580/+bug/2138998/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
